When we did ours, we needed a group of guests to book right away to get a group rate. However, when anyone else booked they could just contact our agent and say they were part of our group, and they could book at their own pace (up until 45 days before). I hope I understood you properly?

I just got back last Saturday from my wedding/honeymoon (wedding was Feb 21st) thought I share a few things with you The resort grounds are beautiful, perfect place for a wedding! I got married in the gazebo at 4pm and had cocktail hour and reception on the Himitsu terrace untill 11pm. I also had flowers from the resort which were beautiful as well! The resort was 110% full on the week of our wedding, they tried to â€œupgradeâ€ 9 of our 30 guest to the Hard Rockâ€¦ As well, the rooms are SMALL! We had a swim out room, we wanted to upgrade to a Honeymoon suite as we werenâ€™t happy with our room, we were even willing to pay whatever price, but they said they had no rooms at all! The swim out turned out to be fun, but it was a lot smaller than any other all inclusive resort rooms Iâ€™ve been in. The beach is awesome here!! Trying to find a chair or a towel after 9am was pretty much impossible which was probably due the resort being 110% book. This is where our swim out room came in handy Our photographer was Michael Weiler with Caribbean Emotions, he was amazing, and such a good price. We also had 36 printed photos of the ceremony with the resort photographer they wanted 180$ for 36 images on CD, (and that they said was half price!!!) I wasnâ€™t planning on doing a TTD but a week after the wedding, my Mom talked me into it! I called up Michael and he was able to do one with us!! It was amazing, he took us off resort to a beautiful beach and the pictures turned out amazing! Let me know if you ladies have any questions

Sherri yours pictures look awesome and your Mugs look super familiar.. I saw you on one of the days you were there, I think maybe the friday, your group was sitting behind my group at the pool. I was down there from the 13th-20th and got married on the 17th (the one day it rained all evening : ( .)

I hear you about the towels it was next to impossible some days to get a towel.

Hi Sherri, your pictures are amazing, you look beautiful! I was wondering if you have any pictures of your reception. Our wedding is scheduled for May 21st at 4:30 with our dinner and cocktail hour on the Himitsu Terrace. It also looks like we're expecting around the same number of guests you had, so I'm just curious to see what the set up looks like. Also, how do they do the cocktail hour? Is everything in the same space as the dinner, or do they do the cocktail hour on one part of the terrace and the dinner on another part?

Kwaller82 - I do have some pics of the reception but I don't know how well they show the set up. Let me know your email address and I'll send you some. Cocktail hour was in the same area as the dinner, people were just kinda standing around when I got there after cocktail hour was done.

First of all congrats!!! Costa Rica is a magical place for a wedding Are you working with a travel agency for your rooms? If not, I would highly encourage you to do so because an agent can often help you get in contact with the wedding department to get that conversation/communication going. I would suggest working with Wright Travel Agency, the official agency of this forum. These agents are specialist in destination weddings and have access to great promotions and group perks in addition to being able to secure the best rates for your group. Best of all the agency does not charge any fees to use their service, but it will take a load off your plate not having to worry about arrangements for travel for you and your guests. Shoot an email over to info@wrighttravelagency.com and one of the team members will get back to you and get the ball rolling for your group and the wedding department! Best wishes!!!
